Anyone use hydraulic motor mounts in any conversions to a diesel engine/other? If so what type and where did you get them from? In doing some research on the topic I have read where people say they are better to smooth out vibration but neglect to say where they got them from.

I've never even heard of these before. Do you have a link for us? Interesting concept, though.

They are used fairly often from my understanding. A little info on them can be found here

Very interesting. Shows how long I've been out of the field, lol. I would think these would wear out rather quickly, especially under off-road use. And be much more expensive to replace. Also, when they do fail, would they allow the motor to shift at an unwanted angle because of the lack of solid base for the internals?
